Blenders....help



Recommended Posts

I burnt out my blender that I had for years. Now that I am post op, I didn't want a huge blender so I got a magic bullet. My problem is it doesn't crush the ice.

Does anyone have one? Can you guys post some recommendations?

Or teach me how to use it. LoL

I have the ninja.. and I love it.. it turns ice into dust. Or it can just chop it up a little. But it works well. And o have the first one it was like 40 bucks

I use it to make fruit smoothies I don't get foam when I use mine. Even if I don't put fruit in it.

I went to buy the magic bullet, but they were all out and there was one like it by a brand named Bella, which was $40 cheaper and it works great!

I have a ninja does good on ice and another smaller one hamiton beach 18.00 at Walmart not great on ice but great on frozen fruit. I put 8 oz milk one scoop of protien and some frozen strawberrys make a great shake. no ice required

I'm sure vitamax is good but the cost is not.

I have the Jimmy Buffet margarita machine which shaves ice & mixes protien shakes great! Got it at Lowes - was expensive but I use it evey day. My kids like it when I make them icees with it too :)

With the bullet make sure you are using the 4 prong blade. Mine does the trick. Also have the ninja which I pretty amazing also. Good luck :)

I wouldn't trade my Vitamix for anything! It is pricey, but worth every single penny.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
